On Monday night I came up on the early train with Grace Wyles and Miss. Smitham and another new student at the RCA Miss Wyles said Dorrie had not written a word to her since she left England. In the evening I made up my mind with regard to music lessons . I had been to see Mr. Weston, 59 west hill, one day last week bodies terms were 2 1/2 guineas so around him that I could not take this, and enquired of Mr. Saunders, Geraldine Rd. His proved to be 2 g. Meanwhile Weston wrote he would take me for 2 g Mrs. Hall then pointed out an advert in the paper of Mr. Dean 46 southfields Rd, 12 lessons for 10/6. I went to see him on Monday night and I fixed up with him for 9 - 10 PMon Mondays. he is a hamble person who apparently spends his time Tuning pianos though Mrs Hall tells me he is a school teacher and has a great reputation. I find the my fingers are terribly stiff and even simple exercises have to start on seem extraordinary difficult. I propose to practice after breakfast for 40 min and after dinner for 30. I ought Ought to be able to get rather more time than this and so make one of hours a day though I don't think there will be able to manage more.
